Demo

Modern European · helsinki · Michelin One Star · Chef Heikki Kivimäki

Finland's longest-running Michelin-starred restaurant, Demo has held its star continuously since 2007. Relocated in autumn 2024 to the 14th floor of the We Land tower in Ruoholahti, the restaurant now pairs its daily-changing surprise tasting menu with panoramic views over Helsinki. Chef-owner Tommi Tuominen and head chef Heikki Kivimäki source obsessively—Balfegó bluefin tuna, Hauhala farm poultry, North Sea calamari—serving a concise menu that changes every single day. Demo is also Helsinki's only Michelin-starred restaurant serving a weekday lunch.
